    Drone pilot? Of course folks forget this is a page out of Rumsfeld’s book from some time ago. Who needs troops when you’ve got expensive, very expensive, “air power”, even if the new stuff won’t fly.

    BTW: our most viable bomber today remains the B-52 as far as reliability, and it was designed starting in 1947, and first flew in 1953. Of course in our current “wars”, while Ak’s may be available, the basic “equipment” of the insurgents remains the ground troop, which “bean counters” giving all the beans to contractors, find “excess”… or expendable.

    Tell that to the family of the Pakistani granny terrorist (only Obama has the proof she was an elderly, senescent terrorist, but we all must trust him, since he’s our president). The drones kill just as dead as Bush’s ‘boots on the ground’, but far more frugally in both dollars and American lives.


    Thrift, dtroutma, thrift. The drones hit the wedding procession and then the funeral. (Wrong order for the Bard, but Obama knows better than the Bard.)

    Funny a little truth here with the whole cyber war fare going on but we will still need men in shape.

    Strangely, I agree.
    It must be straight A’s in all aspects for our military , all of our military…and our people as well…
    Straight As in WORKmanship….good old fashioned craftsMANship….
    As to what the negatives(conservatives) say….yawn……….same old…same old…

    Given the recent attacks on personal data all over, maybe it is time to concentrate more on the war of the nerds. We appear to be losing at this time.

    Eugene it was a play on the Army’s classification system: To be classified as a 4F draftee or recruit is to be completely useless and undesirable to the military….

    When they profile targets proof doesn’t figure into the equation. Just hypothetical reliability.

    Also good pay and being taken care of after. Instead we get Republicans voting to cut benefits for our soldiers. Banks foreclose on active duty soldiers. Something is wrong here.
